Publisher's summary

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

From New York Times bestselling authors Nelson DeMille and Alex DeMille, Blood Lines features the return of Army CID Special Agents Brodie and Taylor who are on the hunt for the cold-blooded murderer of one of their fellow agents.

Army Criminal Investigation Agents Scott Brodie and Maggie Taylor have been separated for five months following their last assignment, a dangerous mission in Venezuela to locate and detain an infamous Army deserter. Now, in Berlin, they are reunited and tasked with investigating the murder of one of their own: CID Special Agent Harry Vance of the 5th MP Battalion, an accomplished counterterrorism agent who had been stationed in western Germany, and whose body was discovered in a city park in the heart of Berlin’s Arab refugee community.

The authorities suspect this is an act of Islamic terrorism, but Brodie and Taylor soon believe there is more to this case. The reason for Vance’s presence in Berlin is unknown, and as Brodie and Taylor work to discover what the murder victim was doing in the days and weeks preceding his death, they become immersed in the many conflicts and contradictions of modern Germany—the Arab refugee crisis, the dark legacy of the Cold War and the Stasi secret police, and the imminent threats of a rising neo-Nazi movement. At the same time, they are butting heads with the authorities—both German and American—and facing a possible threat from American intelligence agents who fear that Brodie and Taylor might have learned too much about US clandestine operations during their mission in Venezuela.

Ultimately, Brodie and Taylor realize that the murder of Harry Vance was merely the prelude to a much more sinister future event—unless they can unravel the mystery in time to stop it.

Great story

Another great Nelson Demille book with all the twists and turns you expect from him.

Scott Bfivk

Great read. Binged until the end. Scott Brick came on to loud & hard especially with the main character Scott. I’d turn down the volume & didn’t like his pretrial of the character.

Great story!

Fun to listen to. Scot Brick ought to consult a native German speaker to pronounce German a little better, but not a big deal

Best book I have listened to in a long time!

I hope this series continues. Plot and characters are superb! Scott Brody is my new favorite character.

What a great novel!!!

The reader/listener definitely gets their money’s worth with Blood Lines. The DeMilles craft a top quality story full of full bodied characters; and Scott delivers his usual exceptionally well done narration. Thanks to all who brought this terrific entertainment available to me. Looking forward with enthusiasm to number three in the series.

Father and son carry on

Another excellent offering from Nelson DeMille. His son is carrying on his father’s excellent work. It’s equally as good as any Nelson wrote alone. (Too bad Lee Child didn’t mentor his bother as well as Nelson DeMille apparently did for his son). Scott Brick never disappoints and seems to particularly get these characters. Happy I bought this book.

Quick moving action packed

I usually live Scott Bricks narration but this time he overdid the drama ! Tone is down Scott ! Overall story was quick moving and engaging

Great book

Love all his books. Also Scott Brody's narration. The best.
Peeking to his next book.

Outstanding

Great story and suspenseful. New characters for the DeMille. It’s his second book in this series. I will have to read the first book.

the relationship to WWII

the story line was engaging and captivating but it started out kinda weird and slow
